Emerge into the
World of Literacy

Launch the Literacy Journey

Strong, confident readers grow over time—nurtured by the guidance of dedicated educators, families, and instruction that sparks curiosity and self-efficacy within every learner. Emerge! leads K–5 students through the first leg of their literacy journey, taking them through the steps of learning to read, reading to learn, and developing the writing and critical thinking skills to match. While each journey is unique, the destination is the same; each student emerges on the other side with the foundational skills and funds of knowledge they need to conquer the challenges ahead. 

Powerful Classroom Resources

Emerge! transforms literacy instruction for teachers, students, and the whole classroom with an array of print and digital materials.

What Makes Emerge! Stand Out

Foundational Skills

Guided by literacy leaders Dr. Jan Hasbrouck and Dr. Katie Pace Miles, Emerge! takes an explicit, systematic approach to foundational skills instruction, incorporating research-based routines and a gradual release model for maximum impact.

Building Comprehension and Knowledge

Our instruction fuses knowledge building with comprehension building—giving students the tools to both understand what they’re reading and build a vast, interconnected network of knowledge. Crafted by experts Dr. Tim Shanahan and Dr. Douglas Fisher, our text-driven instructional pathway makes the process clear, efficient, and explicit.

Explicit Writing

Dr. Steve Graham and Dr. Karen Harris brought their expertise to our explicit, recursive writing pathway, leveraging the reading-writing connection to link each text to a variety of genre writing projects.

Multilingual Learner (MLL) Supports

Informed by renowned MLL scholars Dr. Diane August, Dr. Jana Echevarria, and Dr. Jeannette Mancilla-Martinez, our asset-based MLL supports deliver dedicated support at three levels—substantial, moderate, and minimal—to develop language skills and academic vocabulary.
